加拿大留学 | 套磁信回复求分析

给一个教授发了套磁信，隔天之后收到了教授的回复，但是不太清楚这样应该怎么回复？
I may be accepting graduate students for 2018. Your interests and experience align well with the program and my lab, and I encourage you to apply. I do, however, have to say to every student who inquires that although goodness of fit with a potential supervisor is an important consideration, acceptance is not guaranteed.
我能继续和她保持联系吗？
